Chapter 928 - One Strike Kill (1/2)

The barrier could only stop the attacks from the air. It could do nothing to stop the ground troops. Soaring Angel gazed at Nie Yan who was wreaking havoc across his ranks like some valiant general from the distant past.

“Bastard! Nirvana Flame! Just how arrogant can you get? Charging right into our lines all by yourself, what do you take my Angel Corps for?” Soaring Angel gnashed his teeth, anger overboiling from his heart. He’d been pushed around by Nie Yan for far too long, and suffered way too much at his hand. He finally couldn’t hold back any longer.「All Silverback Kongs, charge!」

The 30 Silverback Kongs charged toward Nie Yan and his Shadow Demon Wolf. These enormous apes were like tanks as they barrelled forward. Soaring Angel drew his bow and let loose five golden arrows.

Five golden streaks whizzed through the air, traversing over 500 meters.

Nie Yan coldly chuckled. You think just that is enough to deal with me? Aren’t you underestimating me a bit too much?

The Shadow Demon Wolf leaped into the air, pouncing down on a Silverback Kong that had come charging over. PSSSHFT! Its sharp claws dug deep into the ape’s flesh. The ape wailed out with a blood-curdling cry.

Nie Yan glanced at the the five arrows streaking towards him. Homing arrows again, huh? Those might be effective on others, but they’re useless against me! Homing arrows were incredibly difficult to dodge because had the ability to home in on targets!

Nie Yan gave a command to Kalenna. She waved her staff and protected him with a shield.

PUT! PUT! PUT! Five arrows struck Nie Yan in quick succession. A string of 100s floated up above his head. These arrows didn’t even pierce his skin.

Though the Shadow Demon Wolf was extremely powerful, it lacked AoE killing attacks. Nie Yan waved his hand, summoning Lil’ Gold, Paladin Lafus, and the three Doom Sentinels. Kalenna waved her staff yet again. A gentle ray of light fell over them, causing their stats to increase by severalfold. They immediately started sweeping through everything in their path.

Lil’ Gold charged into the crowd of enemy players, spewing out flames. After chanting an incantation, he called down a meteor from the sky. BOOOM! Scorching hot flames engulfed the surroundings.

Paladin Lafus activated Indomitable Will. Charging forward, he left a trail of corpses in his wake.

Swaths of enemy players were cut down, like fields of wheat before a scythe. And as their bodies hit the floor, they climbed back up to their feet as shadow servants.

Soaring Angel’s face paled. First his arrows failed to do any real damage, then Nie Yan brought out another five summons, and finally his troops started turning into undead. He had to do something!「Use AoE magic!」

A shower of spells rained down on Nie Yan. The recently arisen shadow servants were immediately engulfed in flames.

Even Nie Yan’s numerous pets and summons couldn’t withstand the assault of so many enemy forces. These players weren’t low-level fodder that could be easily slaughtered. Most were over Level 120. Their battle prowess were astonishing. After sacrificing 600 of their own, Angel Corps finally took down the Doom Sentinels, Lil’ Gold, and Paladin Lafus. However, the Shadow Demon Wolf left them feeling helpless. Its health was simply too high, and it was extremely agile. Every time it swiped down with its claws, several players would die. They also had a difficult time dealing consistent damage to it. The Silverback Kongs came charging over one after another, but they were too slow and clumsy to lock it down.

Nie Yan who was originally riding atop the Shadow Demon Wolf had disappeared without a trace. Every time he revealed himself, several heads would fly. If Soaring Angel hadn’t retreated further back behind the protectors of his most elite ranks, he too would be a corpse on the ground right now.

Ever since he’d regressed 10 years into the past, Nie Yan had continuously searched for powerful equipment to raise his strength. With his current gear, he could look down on the entire world, let alone Soaring Angel.

In the previous timeline, figures like Soaring Angel, Evil Monarch, and Stone Splitter were all valiant heroes. In the eyes of players, they were apex experts through and through. However, compared to Nie Yan, they were like a glow of candlelight compared to the moon, failing to even reach his feet! If they fought, they wouldn’t last a single move. This was an absolute gap in strength!

As Nie Yan rapidly built up his battle achievements, Smoke Stub finally caught up with his Violet Eye Dragon. The players from Angel Corps and the Century Financial Group finally got to experience the frightening strength of a Level 200 Variant Lord. All of their attacks were brushed off. With a blast of its dragon breath, it directly destroyed several enemy catapults as wood and metal debris flew everywhere.

What few catapults were left started collapsing. Angel Corps and the Century Financial Group tried to lock down the Violet Eye Dragon. However, they quickly realized how laughable that thought was. Their attacks didn’t even leave a scratch on its scales. As for the Warriors that tried to intercept it, they were all sent flying without exception.

Asskickers United troops finally caught up to Nie Yan and Smoke Stub. Even though many of them had been killed by the exploding stone giants, their fighting spirits weren’t the least bit affected. The forces of Angel Corps and the Century Financial Group were in complete chaos, unable to put up any meaningful resistance. Slowly but surely, they were being routed, even more so after all their catapults were destroyed.

Soaring Angel didn’t expect his ranks to collapse so quickly. The culprits behind this were undoubtedly the Shadow Demon Wolf and the Violet Eye Dragon. These two super powerful boss monsters wrecked their battle formation. Though he still had a thousand stone giants on standby, if they weren’t used properly, he could end up killing his own troops. After all, unlike the Kamikaze Drakes who could enjoy the freedom of flight, the stone giants had to find a path on the ground, which required careful control. This was one of the reasons why he had them charge out at the beginning. Once the two armies were entangled with each other, it would be hard to make use of them.
